In the past 30 days leading up to July 1, the NW Examiner’s stories were viewed 120,647 times on Substack—up more than 53,000 from the previous month. That growth came from 49 new posts, strong engagement on Reddit and readers like you who continue to subscribe, donate and share our reporting.
We’ve welcomed 347 new subscribers during that stretch. Our open rate stands at 57.99%. And on Reddit, our three most-read stories drew 52,000, 48,000, and 45,000 views.
That’s not just momentum—it’s a mandate. Your support is helping us reach more readers and publish more stories that hold power to account.
We’re supported by local advertising, but we don’t have corporate backing. What we do have is you.
Thank you for reading, subscribing, donating—and for showing that independent local journalism still has a pulse.
If you believe in this work, now’s the time to share it, subscribe or pitch in. Every bit helps us do more.
Thank you for being our advocate, Alan!
